ESPN has announced<\/a> that former Major Leaguer and current baseball analyst Rick Sutcliffe has been diagnosed with cancer.\u00c2\u00a0 According to the report it is a “treatable and curable form of colon cancer”.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

British baseball fans have had the pleasure of listening to Sutcliffe’s analysis as part of the MLB International broadcast of the World Series for several years now.\u00c2\u00a0 Whether alongside Gary Thorne or Dan O’Brien, he is always quick to pass on some insightful knowledge or something that will simply make you laugh.\u00c2\u00a0 The pre-game pieces they sometimes put together specifically for Five are always good fun and serve to make British fans feel part of the World Series that little bit more than they would otherwise.<\/p>\n

Good luck to Rick in his upcoming battles.\u00c2\u00a0 Like all British baseball fans, I look forward to hearing him back on commentary, fit and healthy,\u00c2\u00a0for the 2008 World Series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
